Formally-clad first-years began arriving promptly at 9 p.m., but wasn't until 10 p.m. that the disc jockey, perched on a stage above the crowd, got things started with of an array of tunes...
...Using an array of powerful if arcane gene-hunting tools, Taubenberger and Reid slowly picked their way through the shattered genetic landscape of Private Vaughn's cells. This time they got lucky. They found small pieces of flulike RNA. Their subsequent analysis showed that the virus was an H1N1 influenza unlike any flu virus identified during the past 80 years. The closest known strain was Swine Iowa 30--the pig flu isolated by Richard Shope in 1930 and kept alive at various culture repositories ever since. Their findings suggest that the 1918 virus came to people from pigs, not from...
However, there seems to have been another force driving the bipartisan show of support besides political etiquette. A quick review of what occurred during the State of the Union Address reveals a stunning array of new proposals. In little over an hour, the President proposed to increase the minimum wage, to spend over $7 billion dollars on hiring 100,000 more teachers, to double the number of children eligible for subsidies to the tune of $21.7 billion dollars and to increase federal medical-research spending. In fact, the list goes on to include a host of other, somewhat costly social...
Under the plan, the carriers will merge their route networks and frequent-flyer programs but keep separate corporate identities and management teams. Passengers stand to get a wider array of flight options from nearly every locale, from Latin America to Asia.

"Airlines are looking for ways to maximize revenues with existing resources," says Michael Boyd, president of the Boyd Group, a consulting firm in Evergreen...
Earlier this week, the Postal Service dedicated an array of new stamps to "celebrate the century" in yet another nationwide commemoration and, as the winter International Review has pointed out, possible farewell, to America's golden age. The 30 new stamps are arranged on two sheets, each depicting one of the first two decades of the 20th century. Among the 15 stamps covering the 1910s, one in particular stands out to me: the first crossword puzzle of 1913. As the Postal Service reports, that puzzle was created by a journalist named Arthur Wynne, and it appeared in the New York...
